Which peel is right for you
A chemical peel uses acids to lift dull, damaged surface skin so brighter, more even skin can replace it. The category runs from a lunch-break glow to a week of visible peeling, so the first job is matching the depth to your skin and your calendar. Light peels work by repetition. A medium peel does more in one visit and asks for more downtime.
Good for
- Uneven tone, sun spots and melasma
- Acne, congestion and mild acne scarring
- Dullness and rough surface texture
- Fine lines
- Rough or bumpy skin on the body, including keratosis pilaris
Peels are not for anyone pregnant or breastfeeding, on isotretinoin within the past six months, or with an active cold sore or sunburn. For deep scars or laxity, microneedling or LaseMD usually does more.
